Valley of Fire glows red: 40,000 acres of Aztec sandstone, with petrified trees and petroglyphs more than 2,000 years old. The visitor centre is open 9 am to 4 pm. There is a per-vehicle day-use fee, higher for vehicles from outside Nevada. Go early in summer, when the heat is extreme. About 57 miles, roughly 1¼ hours without stops, from the centre of the Strip.
